A vanity-lighting system for providing light to a reflective surface for the application and removal of cosmetics. The system includes multiple segments. Each segment including at least one light fixture, a mounting device for affixing the segment to a surface, and connectors that allow each segment to be connected to adjoining segments. The system is affixed to a wall by first connecting the adjoining segments in the desired geometric shape and then affixing the connected segments to a surface. Preferably, the surface is proximate a mirror or other reflective surface.
